Alaska Trooper Fires Gun in Misunderstanding | Anchorage News

Alaska troopers responded to a 4 AM call in Wasilla after a drunk caller claimed he’d been jumped—only to find him in the wrong backyard, armed and agitated. When a second man emerged with a gun, a trooper fired in response. No one was hurt, but the caller was clearly intoxicated and hadn’t been assaulted. The Alaska Bureau of Investigation is now probing the incident, with the Office of Special Prosecutions to follow. The trooper involved is on seven-day administrative leave, with their name to be released in three days.
